Texas Hill Country Cowboy Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, garlic and onion; cook and stir until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off grease, and transfer the contents of the skillet to a large pot.
• Pour the tomatoes into the pot with the meat, and stir in the potatoes, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes with chilies, mixed vegetables and water. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour. Stir occasionally. The longer this stew cooks, the better it gets.

Steps:

• 1. Brown meat in skillet or dutch oven with onions, salt, pepper, and garlic.
• 2. Prepare Minestrone Soup Mix according to directions. Add Soup and rest of ingredients to meat in Dutch oven.
• 3. Simmer for 1 hour. ( be careful not to cook too long or pasta will fall apart.)
• 4. Note: I like to cook this in a large crock pot. If using a crock pot, heat Minestrone soup mix to boiling and add to crock pot. Simmer 3-4 hours on low.

Steps:

• In a large pot, add ground beef and onion. Cook until ground beef is cooked through and onions are translucent. Add garlic and tomato paste (if using vegetable broth) and cook for 1 - 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and mixture is well combined. Add corn, green beans, Ro*Tel, rice, vegetable broth (or stewed tomatoes), cream style corn & kidney beans. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes or until rice is cooked through. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large pot, saute bacon over medium heat until starting to brown.

• Decrease heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes.
• Add corn and simmer for 10 minutes.
